Crepuscular Rays of Nature

Crepuscular rays are best described as “Gods light” and refer to the rays of sunlight that appear as though radiating from a single point in the sky.

The rays occur during dawn and dusk, when light and dark is easily discernible, and usually stream through gaps in clouds, or other landscape features, to obtain their effect.
